This was the bike I loved the most; it had so much character, even down to burning your knees on the rocker covers. I'm still nostalgic for my old CX; I rode it all over Britain, 12, 000 miles one year. It never missed a beat.

Dispatch riders favorite..ultra reliable..

i nearly bought the Turbo version once..then opted for cbx750

Cx's were good until the alternator burned out (engine out job to fix).

I worked on a KH750 "special" last year, had KH frame/tank/carbs but a set of upside down forks and aluminium rear swingarm. Sounded lovely but had to sort a fair few niggles out..

I recommissioned a 1982 Yamaha RD350 a few years back, totally standard even down to green bolts on indicators etc.

Had 8000 miles on it, blue original paint.

Road beautifully (hadn't been ruined with Micron exhausts etc).

Still have cold sweats when mentioning Moto Guzzi, just fit a clutch they said...

I'm pretty sure that's the one, same colour too. I had the same pack of TT's (as well as far too many more, ).
